No, they're not. They're a militia.
Here is a timeline of major Hezbollah terrorist activities. Left out, of course, is the constant barrage of missiles rained down on northern Israel by Hezbollah. I copy-pasta'd this from another source for convenience:
1983: Hezbollah sends suicide truck bomb against US embassy and murders 63 people
Also 1983: Hezbollah murders 241 American soldiers and 58 French soldiers with another suicide truck bomb
1984: Hezbollah murders 18 American soldiers with bombing in Spain
Also 1984: Hezbollah murders 11 people with another truck bomb against US embassy
1992: Hezbollah murders 29 people with suicide bombing of Israeli Embassy in Argentina
1994: Hezbollah murders 85 Jewish Argentinian civilians in another suicide truck bomb
1996: Hezbollah murders 19 American Air Force personnel with bombing of Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia
2005: Hezbollah murders 22 civilians in assassination on Lebanese PM
2011 to present: Helped Assad murder up to half a million Syrian civilians, carrying out starvation sieges and ethnic cleansing against Sunni towns and cities

This is the official position of Israel, yes, but the international community, including the US acknowledges that they are a political entity as well. You actually don't need to be on side with their positions to accept this fact.
